The Bread and Butter Thing (TBBT) and Darlington Borough Council team up to ensure surplus food does not go to waste
The Bread and Butter Thing is a charity that began in Manchester making life more affordable for people on a low income and now they have created 3 hubs in Darlington running through the summer.
The charity is open to residents who live within a one-mile radius of the three current hubs in Darlington (image below) and if residents would like to participate they need to follow a set of steps to sign up:
- Step 1 - Send a text to TBBT on 07537416040 with full name, postcode and the name of the hub (Mount Pleasant, Corporation Road, Red Hall) and TBBT will get in touch. (must live within one mile of the hub they wish to access)
- Step 2 - Select the size of order they want to receive. A typical family order would be £7.50, an individual would be £4. An extra large family would be £15.
- Step 3 – TBBT will send a text two days prior to collection day to ask if the resident wants to order for that week. All they have to do is reply “YES” to the text by 10:00am the day before collection and TBBT will deliver their order to their Hub at the specified times.
- Step 4 – Pay for & collect the order from their chosen hub.
